Description
Improving business outcomes involves making it easier to spot and address high-priority incidents. The WatchTower Platform serves as a comprehensive observability tool that streamlines incident resolution specifically within mainframe environments by effectively integrating and correlating events, data flows, and metrics across various IT silos. It provides a cohesive and intuitive interface for operations teams, allowing them to optimize their workflows. Leveraging established AIOps solutions, WatchTower is adept at detecting potential problems at an early stage, which aids in proactive mitigation. Additionally, it utilizes OpenTelemetry to transmit mainframe data and insights to observability tools, allowing enterprise SREs to pinpoint bottlenecks and improve operational effectiveness. By enhancing alerts with relevant context, WatchTower eliminates the necessity for logging into multiple tools to gather essential information. Its workflows expedite the processes of problem identification, investigation, and incident resolution, while also simplifying the handover and escalation of issues. With such capabilities, WatchTower not only enhances incident management but also empowers teams to proactively maintain high service availability.
Description
By implementing Shift Left, organizations can expedite incident resolution earlier in the support process. This approach empowers Level 1, Level 2, and field support technicians to efficiently address common issues related to users and devices directly from the ServiceNow incident form. By eliminating the necessity for privileged access across various systems such as Active Directory, Microsoft Configuration Manager, LAPS, and MBAM, first-call resolution rates can see a substantial boost. Rather than escalating issues to higher levels of support, Shift Left equips help desk teams with the tools to perform actions like resetting user passwords and unlocking accounts, all within the incident form. This capability allows for a marked increase in the number of tickets diagnosed and resolved during the initial call. Moreover, technicians can access a record of troubleshooting steps already taken for an incident, which significantly reduces the likelihood of redundant efforts. Ultimately, this streamlined approach enhances the overall efficiency and effectiveness of support operations.
